...(Follows the case of the dependence of clover upon cats.) "Hence it is quite credible (Darwin concludes), that the presence of a feline animal in large numbers...the frequency of certain flowers in that district." While Darwin's conclusion is correct so far as it goes, I am of opinion that it is nevertheless inadequate... | |

...inter-dependence in Nature is usually held to be constituted by his much quoted discovery of the fact that the presence of a. feline animal in large numbers...the frequency of certain flowers in that district. Upon this discovery rests the modern, equally naturalistic, idea of the " balance of Nature." The crops... | |
